Product details
Overview
BC807-25-QR from Nexperia is a PNP general-purpose bipolar junction transistor in SOT23 (TO-236AB) package, rated for −45 V VCEO, −500 mA IC, and DC current gain (hFE) of 160–400 at VCE = −1 V, IC = −100 mA. It serves as a low-voltage switching or linear amplification device in automotive body control modules, LED driver stages, and power rail enable circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BC807-25-QR datasheet, BC807-25-QR pinout, BC807-25-QR application, or BC807-25-QR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and validated automotive-grade substitution options - all grounded in Nexperia's official Rev. 1 product data sheet.
Technical Context
This transistor operates as a current-controlled switch or amplifier with fixed polarity (PNP), requiring reverse-biased base-emitter junction for conduction. Its hFE range (160–400) enables predictable gain selection across production lots, while its −700 mV VCE(sat) at IC = −500 mA / IB = −50 mA supports efficient low-side switching in 3.3 V/5 V logic-driven loads.
Thermal resistance Rth(j-a) is 500 K/W on standard FR4 PCB and 362 K/W with enhanced collector pad, directly informing layout-dependent power handling. The device meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements, confirming suitability for under-hood automotive environments up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | −45 V: Maximum safe collector-emitter voltage with base open; defines maximum supply rail compatibility in PNP high-side or emitter-follower configurations. |
| IC | −500 mA continuous: Rated DC collector current at 25 °C ambient; usable up to ~345 mW with optimized PCB copper area. |
| hFE | 160–400 at VCE = −1 V, IC = −100 mA: Confirmed DC current gain range enabling stable bias design without gain binning uncertainty. |
| VCE(sat) | −700 mV max at IC = −500 mA, IB = −50 mA: Low saturation voltage minimizes power loss in switching applications with moderate load currents. |
| fT | 80 MHz typical at VCE = −5 V, IC = −10 mA: Supports audio-frequency amplification and fast digital switching up to ~10 MHz edge rates. |
| Rth(j-a) | 500 K/W (standard FR4): Determines thermal rise per watt dissipated; requires ≥1 cm² copper pour on collector pad to sustain full IC. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) surface-mount plastic package with 3 leads, 1.3 mm profile, and JEDEC-standard footprint. Designed for reflow soldering with defined land pattern (0.6 mm pad width × 0.5 mm length).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Base (B) | Current-controlled input node; reverse-biased relative to emitter to turn device ON; requires current-limiting resistor when driven by CMOS logic. |
| 2 | Emitter (E) | Common terminal for PNP operation; connected to higher potential rail (e.g., 5 V or 12 V); carries full load current in switching mode. |
| 3 | Collector (C) | Output terminal; tied to load and ground reference; thermally coupled to PCB copper for heat dissipation in high-current operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use per Stress Test Qualification for Discrete Semiconductors, including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing. |
| Three hFE bins | BC807-25-QR provides mid-range gain (160–400), balancing drive sensitivity and stability versus BC807-16-Q (100–250) and BC807-40-Q (250–600). |
| Low VCE(sat) | −700 mV max ensures <150 mW conduction loss at 500 mA, reducing thermal load in space-constrained automotive PCBs. |
| High breakdown rating | −45 V VCEO and −50 V VCBO support robust operation in 24 V automotive systems with transient spikes. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP general-purpose transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC807-25,115 (Nexperia) | No "-QR" suffix; standard industrial grade, not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lacks automotive qualification; unsuitable for under-hood or safety-critical functions. | Select only for non-automotive consumer or industrial designs where AEC compliance is unnecessary. |
| MMBT3906LT1G (ON Semiconductor) | Same SOT23 package; hFE = 100–300 at IC = −10 mA; VCEO = −40 V; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lower gain range and breakdown voltage; limited to ≤40 V systems and non-automotive use. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, non-automotive replacements where gain tolerance and transient immunity are relaxed. |
Compared with BC807-25-QR, the BC807-25,115 omits automotive qualification but matches electrical specs, while MMBT3906LT1G trades lower VCEO and unqualified status for broader distributor availability - making BC807-25-QR the sole choice for AEC-compliant designs needing guaranteed 45 V rating and 160–400 hFE.

FAQ
Is BC807-25-QR pin-compatible with BC807-25,115?
Yes - both use identical SOT23 (TO-236AB) package with base-emitter-collector pinout (1-2-3). Mechanical and electrical pin mapping is fully interchangeable; only qualification status differs (AEC-Q101 vs. industrial grade).
What is the maximum allowable power dissipation at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient, derated power dissipation is ~200 mW using the 500 K/W Rth(j-a) curve: Ptot = (Tj(max) − Tamb) / Rth(j-a) = (150 − 85) / 500 = 0.13 W. With 1 cm² collector pad (362 K/W), it rises to ~180 mW.
Does BC807-25-QR support pulsed operation beyond 500 mA?
Yes - peak collector current ICM is −1 A for single pulses ≤1 ms, enabling short-duration surge handling in motor startup or relay pull-in scenarios, provided duty cycle remains ≤2% per datasheet limit.
How does the "-QR" suffix differ from "-Q" in Nexperia part numbering?
The "-QR" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with AEC-Q101 qualification; "-Q" alone indicates AEC-Q101 qualification but may ship in bulk or different reel formats. Both share identical die and electrical specs - only packaging and logistics differ.
